I’m on the fence with the teachers’ situation, can see both sides, as my other half is also a teaching assistant. Fortunate or unfortunate, but the summer holidays are quite obviously the elephant in the room as I think there would be benefits for schools to have made a start in having children in before the break, otherwise if we leave it until September the whole conversation starts again whilst everybody is in “summer mode” when it’ll be far harder to agree on matters prior to the Sept restart.
Tough call.
If you want to pick holes you’ll always find them, it is a complete impossibility to not find contradictions somewhere as we come out of lockdown, bar having a black/white scenario of just saying it’s completely over so get on with life.Just seems odd that if you are a teacher with grandkids you can see them - one at a time - in a park at least 2m away from you then go into a classroom of 15 of other peoples kids milling around? Clarity of message? Is it about staying alert in the classroom so the bug won't sneak up on you?

It was quite exciting, but not too much, to be in the “general forum” for an hour or so this aft with the start of the bundesliga, away from off topic. Almost made me wish for the start of the Prem, lol.it is a tough call but only in the world of bluemoon can Have a fairly reasonable imo view that says:
it would be good to try and get kids back to school in a safe way, so they can get an education.
for it to be
you Must hate teachers and want them and kids to die.
Astonishing that no one foresaw this.Any country that has had it bad has had many deaths in care homes.

Social distancing will not happen in schools. Just not possibleThat's why they'll be in groups of 6-8.

They were buying their own PPE which was enough for normal use,hospitals were sending patients with covid into homes,if the gov didn't see anything coming in care homes why would the owner of one do,they were left unprotected,lambs to the slaughterShocking really that all these private care homes (84% in the UK) couldn't use some of the extortionate fees they charge to allow for some protection of their residents.

Because they don’t have the staff for them, you put 4000 patients into the excel centre you’ll need around the same amount of staff working shifts, where are they coming from?I'm not sure on that but if it is the case there is no defence. Why didn't they use the nightingale hospitals that they built specifically for covid?
Next week is half term, start the holidays then give everyone off until the end of July and get school started if possible in August. No one is going on holiday this year anyway.I’m on the fence with the teachers’ situation, can see both sides, as my other half is also a teaching assistant.

The nightingale hospitals were kitted out as an intensive care unit really,truth is the gov said in feb they didn't expect infections in the care homes,sending them covid patients was a disgrace,just who thought that was a good idea,care homes are not set up to isolate patients,they only had a normal amount of ppe ,they are staffed by mainly min wage carers ,understaffed at the best of times they were given PPE a lot later than the nhs,they shutdown to visitors on their own before the gov thought about itI'm not sure on that but if it is the case there is no defence.
